If you’re a connoisseur of wine, you’re probably aware of the fact that in addition to the plethora of different types of wine, there are also a surprising amount of wine glasses that exist. White wine glasses, for example, are one of those many different types. While it’s okay to consume white wine from any vessel that’s available to you, drinking it from a proper wine glass definitely enhances the experience.
A Japanese study conducted in 2015 took different glasses to see how wine tastes and reacts differently in all of them. It clearly demonstrated ethanol vapors emanating from the glasses. The shape of the glass is what affects the position and density of the vapors, and it’s these vapors that give the taste to the wine you’re drinking. We recommend storing your wine in a built-in wine fridge to maintain ideal temperatures as this too impacts flavors in a major way.
What are the Benefits of Getting White Wine Glasses?
In order to know why having white wine from a white wine glass matters, you can conduct a little experiment at home where you bring out different containers from your storage area, such as a champagne flute, a bowl-shaped wine glass, a normal mug, and so on.
Now, proceed to pour the white wine in all those different containers, and take a sip from them one by one. You will notice that the white wine tastes different in almost each and every vessel. While some glasses multiply the beauty of the wine’s aroma, others diminish the flavor, and so on. This is what makes it so important to consume the wine from the glass it was designed for, and this is the reason why it’s beneficial to get white wine glasses if you truly want to taste your white wine at its best.
The type of white wine glass you get will also depend on the occasion. For example, if it’s a picnic, clear glasses will work just fine. However, if it’s a more intimate gathering, a broader stemware collection will suit better.
What are the Differences Between White Wine Glasses and Red Wine Glasses?
White wine glasses are slightly smaller bowls in comparison to red wine glasses, and they’re more upright and u-shaped. The shape is what preserves the aroma and enhances it, while also balancing out the temperature of the white wine. The different types of white wine glasses based on the white wine in question are as follows:
- Sauvignon Blanc Glass: When it comes to Sauvignon Blanc and other light to medium-bodied wines with a floral or fruity taste such as Fume Blanc, Loire, Vinho Verde, or Chenin Blanc, a tall glass with a slender bowl is the best. It captures the delicate aroma and the sides of the glass’ mouth help in detecting the wine’s acidity.
- Montrachet Glass: These are for the white wines that have complex notes, such as White Burgundy, Corton-Charlemagne, Meursault, etc. Large bowls go well with this kind of white wine. The big opening enables you to take in the smell and allows the wine to interact with the air and open up.
- Chardonnay Wine Glass: This is for the full-bodied white wines such as Chardonnay, Viognier, and Semillon. These should be consumed through a glass that has a large opening. It provides the perfect balance of the acidity and sweetness of the white wine on your tongue.
Round bowls, large glasses, and big openings are more suited for white wine glasses. Red wine glasses have some different characteristics that you can learn more about here.
